So... if Rodriguez had been polite and respectful to the police than he most likely would still be alive. Sure the police over-reacted and should be punished to the full extent of the law but the situation could have easily been avoided by common sense.

You sound like the kind of Muslim apologists that we have all come to expect after every terrorist attack: "Yes, the 9/11 terrorists were wrong to kill a few thousand innocent people in the name of Allah, but you have to understand that this would have never happened if not for the evil Jooos and imperialist Americans."

We hear the same sort of BS crappola from lefties when excusing certain minorities from criminal behavior: "Sure they should be punished, but go lenient because their violent criminal conduct is really the fault of racist white people, the Tea Party, George Bush, and global warming."

... and you sound like the Trayvon Martin supporters who claim it was George Zimmerman's fault he had to shot the thug. In both cases polite and respectful behavior from both parties would have defused the situation. In both cases one party was inappropriately aggressive and things escalated.

"You" sound like the liberal apologist for bad behavior...

Is that your best come-back? You ought to be embarrassed. FYI — I supported Zimmerman on the facts.
